nearly thirty patterns & tutorials for hobo
style handbags & totes collected from all
over the web.
And what typically defines a hobo bag is
its large size, its curved shape, and its
unstructured "slouchiness," (resembling
the "sack on a stick" that hobos were
often portrayed as carrying).

And because hobo and other fabric bags

If you plan to carry heavy items in your
finished bag, consider adding a lining to
the bag for extra strength. You may even want to add a layer of fusible interfacing to your
fabric pieces to make your bag even more durable. However, test the interfacing first on pieces

especially if your fabric is a cotton or a cotton blend. (If you think you’ll only be spot-cleaning
your finished bag, you can skip this step.) You may even want to launder your cotton fabric
more than once because cotton doesn’t always shrink its maximum amount with the first
washing.
